Cities and towns play a major role when it comes to reducing emissions from transportation. They can make targeted use of their competence as planners in the development of a needs-based charging infrastructure, as well as leveraging their role model position as property owners, employers and procurers. For many cities and townships, we already determined the specific charging infrastructure needs and devised various development scenarios as well as city-specific realization concepts. Our work enables cities and towns to better prepare for an energy transition.
